In case it matters, Senior Members don't have IP address access. Only Moderators or higher do.

It doesn't really matter considering he was plotting with his fellow leadership to use IP grabbers on Rsc

Assuming it's true, the fact he was "plotting" to IP grab is obviously going to be dealt with by the Senior staff. As for actually using IP grabbers on this site I don't know of any method you could use to get around the image whitelist the board has so your IPs should be safe from IP grabbing.

I am just curious as to why this topic: http://forums.zybez....our-clans-mind/ was locked, yet I see quite a few topics that could very well be pointed at another clan that may or may not Start with an R and end with an OT that stay open. Is it because that clan doesn't have any CD staff? Just curious.

My suggestion to make CD better is applying the same rules and restrictions to all clans.

Which topics are you referring to? If you're referring to this topic I suppose you can argue that it is aimed at RoT's recent forum leaks, but at the same time it is vague enough to not be a direct flamebait. Clans have many times released leaks of each other; RoT isn't the only clan to have done so. It poses fair discussion of it.

Your topic on the other hand was clearly done to flamebait VR (look at your own forums and you happened to be viewing a topic about that while posting your topic here). See your quote here:

If you had 20 topics about another clan in only a couple of days..how would you feel?

I am wondering if we can ban links to clans forums due to the fact that I recently had an attempt on my Computer when visiting a certain clans site I can provide proof to a mod if they like.

Yeah, you can contact us and we will check it out. We have banned certain clan sites in the past for causing problems.

Assuming it's true, the fact he was "plotting" to IP grab is obviously going to be dealt with by the Senior staff. As for actually using IP grabbers on this site I don't know of any method you could use to get around the image whitelist the board has so your IPs should be safe from IP grabbing.

To add on to what Wee Man said, we implemented a whitelist for all images posted back in June 2011 (see this topic) in response to IP grabbers on the boards. The only hosts that are whitelisted are public image sharers such as imgur, tinypic or imageshack. Unless they found some way to see the IPs of those who viewed a particular image from these public hosts, then the possibility of grabbing IP addresses from RSC using this particular method is zero.

Keep in mind that not all clan forums have this sort of add-on in place nor do they necessarily treat your IP addresses with care when you post or view their boards. Hell, even visiting a clan's Teamspeak or using Skype can reveal your IP address. Often times users blame us for leaking their IP addresses when in reality it's due to another reason.

I'm going to repeat this again and again since some users don't seem to get it. If you have sufficient proof of a staff member doing something that you believe they shouldn't be doing, contacting a Senior Moderator or Kingwith said proof is your best bet. Publicly discussing it won't help anything except raise paranoid conclusions which may or may not be true.

It is worrying that there is a certain senior member who I've seen, not from what my leaders have shown me, but from skimming through chat logs on my own of him discussing ddosing and ipgrabbing. Despite what the public opinion of my clan affiliation, I prefer to not go that far these days. I would not like to see mine or other RoT members being DDoSed among other things because certain people have power on these forums.

Like I stated earlier, Senior Members don't have any extra access that any other member would have in terms of IP addresses. This means that any "IP grabbing/DDoSing" is not because of a direct result of their "power" here, but would rather be done on their own accord. So therefore their position here is irrelevant. In that context, you would have the same ability to do so as any Senior Member or CL.

Obviously we don't condone that sort of behaviour so if a particular staff member is found to have done actions such as that, something would be done about that. However, I'm not in a position to say exactly what that would be. Again, that is something for the administrators to discuss. Going off blind accusations doesn't serve any good.

Also, this isn't a discussion topic for who DDoSes who and whatever. So leave that discussion off of this topic.

Like Kevin already said, Senior members can't view IP's and we have image whitelist in place to prevent IP grabbing. So unless people have found a way to get around that, your IP's are safe here.

Also to those questioning why topics and posts regarding staff members get removed: It is because we don't allow "naming and shaming" type of topics because most of the time they're just baseless accusations. The administrators of this site will discuss all accusations of rule breaking and/or bias. It's not a public debate, you guys can provide proof and we make the decisions.

All that being said, we still don't allow our staff members to take part in unethical Runescape related activities such as hacking IRC/RS/forum accounts, Ddosing or IP grabbing anywhere.

We've gone through all the evidence now and Cera S6 has been removed from all staff positions.

Bit like this topic that states RoT have acquired a botnet and IPs which I have reported but it hasn't been closed because the baseless accusations concern RoT and not another clan who might have a moderator on these forums! Also it doesn't accuse any of your staff members of trying to do illegal activities on forums on which you've given them a rank.

It's been dealt with.

Okay, let's cut out the banter between each other. It doesn't belong on this topic. I understand that these kind of decisions leave controversy. We've been relaxed with this kind of thing, but if it continues we will have to start handing out suspensions.

then you could have just edited that out am i right?

Sometimes users don't get the message if we simply edit it. Since you get a notification when it's deleted.

At any rate, you reposted a list so no harm done.
